There is little information about European jazz singer Anne Ducros
within the liner notes to Piano, Piano, but she clearly endeared herself
to each of the four guest pianists with whom she worked on her CD. She
soars in the lush setting of "Never Let Me Go," where she packs an
emotional punch, though her tripping over a few words slightly handicaps
her interpretation of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child." One of
Europe's greatest jazz pianists, Enrico Pieranunzi, joins her for the
powerful rendition of "You Go to My Head" and a graceful take of "Moon
and Sand." She came to the United States in order to work with Chick
Corea, singing "Les Feuilles Mortes" (Autumn Leaves) in its original
language in a terrific duet and adding some humorous horn-like scatting
reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald on-stage. Both her lyrical "My Foolish
Heart" and explosive "Body and Soul" are just as effective. Another
veteran European pianist, René Urtreger, is paired with Ducros for a
gently loping duet of "I Thought About You" and anchoring the rhythm
section for another Ella-like scat exhibition in the swinging "Just in
Time." Benoît de Mesnay, who doubles on piano and Fender Rhodes in
"Four" (where she once again scats up a storm) and joins her for the
swinging interpretation of "Naima," is evidently her regular
accompanist. All in all, this is a very enjoyable effort. Ken Dryden
